It's been a four hundred years since everything started...
Steam rose up from the hot spring. Ripples danced along the surface as a slender figure shifted, leaning on her back against the side of the spring. Footsteps sounded as a shadow of a young man materialized behind the bamboo divider.
"Lady Akura, sorry for the interruption but we had just received a message from Miss Mirajane Strauss."
"From Mira you say?
"Yes. According to her message, she's inviting you to come over to Fairy Tail. It seems that she wants to introduce you to her guild mates."
"I see."
"I have the letter here, Lady Akura, in case, you want to read it yourself. We're sorry that we opened it without your knowledge beforehand, Milady."
"It's alright. You're just doing your job as my bodyguards. Please leave it on my desk. I will read it later. Just prepare some paper and a pen. Is Seras back?"
"Yes, Milady. She just came back twenty minutes ago. She's currently resting in your room. Do you wish to call for her?"
"No need. Just let her rest. Bring her food if she calls for you. I will just talk to her myself."
"Understood."
"You may leave now."
The shadow leaned into a bow and slowly shrunk away. A sigh escaped the young lady's lips. She looked up, watching the stars twinkle dimly behind the veil of steam.
"I guess it's time to stop hiding and show my face to Fairy Tail huh Mavis..."
